Chp 5

It had been a week since Robin had taken Marian and Aiden to the theme park, and they had not seen him since. He had called that night though. He had told Marian how Stephanie had called telling him that she was pregnant. Marian was so shocked she had not been able to speak to him for a few moments. She had never imagined Robin with other children than Aiden. She knew it would happen, but she never expected it to be so soon. Or with someone like Stephanie. She had been concerned as any mother would be. Would this mean he would be spending less time with Aiden. He usually saw him every second day if as long as that, but now he had gone a week without seeing his father. She could see the effect it had on her son. He continually asked for Robin and she had even heard him telling Barney that he no longer saw his daddy.

Emma walked into the living room with a large smile on her face.

'What are you smiling at?' Marian asked raising her eyebrows.

'Nothing.' Emma said sitting on the chair.

'Oh you've got that look.' Marian smirked.

'What look?' Emma asked.

'The look of. Oh I have the greatest guy in the world. And the sex is so good. I don't know what I would do without him.' Marian said in a romantic speech.

'Allan is not my boyfriend.' Emma blushed.

'Sure he isn't.' Marian smiled. 'What are you doing tonight?' Marian tested.

'Meeting Allan.' Emma smiled once more with that look on her face.

'So has Robin been round to see Aiden?' Emma asked knowing the situation.

'Nope.' Marian said sadly.

'Are you sure she's pregnant. She probably just ate a muffin and feels bloated.' Emma said rolling her eyes.

'Yes Emma she is sure.' Marian giggled.

Emma smiled as Allan lightly smacked her butt and walked her into the club. He smirked and went to get her a drink as she waited near the dance floor. Emma looked around all the dancing couples. She gasped when she saw Robin standing with Stephanie. She pushed her way through the crowd until she reached them.

'Robin.' Emma shouted over the music.

'Oh hey Emma.' Robin smiled turning to face her.

'Can I have a word.'

'Sure.' Robin shouted in reply handing Stephanie his drink and walking off with Emma.

'You haven't seen Aiden in a while. Marian's worried.' Emma said.

'I know I haven't had the time.' Robin said putting his hand through his hair.

'But you seem to have plenty of time for clubbing.' Emman snapped.

'Emma I am under a lot of pressure.' Robin sighed.

'No Robin by the looks of things your under a lot of fake blonde hair.' Emma said nodding to Stephanie who was watching.

'Emma please don't.'

'Robin. Marian is upset. She thinks your going to forget about Aiden with your new baby.' Emma explained.

'She shouldn't be.' Robin stated.

'Look Robin. You had better get your ass in gear, because if you don't, I'm going to floor it, and not in a good way.' Emma warned.

'Hey Rob. Didn't know you were here.' Allan smirked coming over and handing Emma her drink.

'Yeah i'm here with Stephanie.' Robin stated.

'Cool why don't you join us.' Allan said.

Robin smiled and nodded for Stephanie to come over. Emma shot Allan a look that let him know he was sleeping with his boxers on tonight.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

'Mummy. Where Daddy.' Aiden asked as Marian put him down for the night.

'He's eh...He's busy. But he'll come for you soon.' Marian explained to her son.

Aiden cuddled into his Barney teddy and closed his eyes. Marian watched her son for a few moments before leaving his room and heading into her own. She sat on her bed and pulled a box put from under her bed. She opened it and smiled at the pictures it held of her and Robin. There were some from when they were younger then when they were going out. And then finally some of the pair of them at the hospital with a newly born Aiden. She sniffed as tears began to sting her eyes. She hated letting go of the past but it was something that she had to do.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

'Emma what crawled up your ass?' Allan asked Emma as Robin danced with Stephanie on the floor.

'Not you that's for sure.' Emma bit and got up and walked to the bar.

Allan simply shrugged and drunk his pint.

Emma threw her nag down on the bar and groaned.

'Hard night hun?' The barman asked.

'Not in the way you would think.' Emma sighed.

'Fell out with your boyfriend?' The tall dark haired man asked.

'Not exactly.' Emma said.

'Talk to me about it?' He offered.

'Well my friends got a kid with this bloke, but now that his peroxide whore of a girlfriend is pregnant he's not seeing my friends kid.' Emma rambled.

'Ahh. Well then maybe he's not worth it.' The barman shrugged.

'Hey where's Emma?' Robin asked after he had come back to sit down after dancing with Stephanie for an hour.

'She went over to the bar about an hour ago.' Allan said looking over to the bar to see a slightly drunken Emma laughing with the barman and putting her hand on his chest. 'And its about time she remembered who she came with.' He bit as he got up and walked over to the bar.

'What are you doing?' He asked outraged when he reached Emma.

'What?' Emma asked turning to him.

'Chatting up James Bond here when your meant to be with me.'

'Allan-'

'Don't Allan me! I thought we meant something, but it was all nothing to you.' Allan shouted as he left the club.

Emma grabbed her purse and hopped from the bar stool as she ran after Allan. She found him outside walking down the street kicking can out of the way.

'Allan!' She shouted running after him. Which wasn't easy considering her heels.

'Leave me alone Emma. Go back to your barman.' Allan shouted not turning to look at her.

'Allan I don't know what you are freaking out about.' Emma shrieked.

'My girlfriend draped over another man.' Allan said turning to face her.

'Allan he's gay.' Emma smiled.

'What?' Allan asked frowning.

'Jonathon. The barman. He's gay. He has a boyfriend called Alex and they have been together for four years.' Emma giggled.

'Really?' Allan asked as his cheeks redenned.

'Yeah. So.. your my boyfriend?' Emma asked blushing.

'Yeah. Yeah I am. And you better remember that.' Allan smirked as he pulled her into a passionate kiss.

RHRHRHRHRHRH

Emma sighed happily has she walked out of Allan's apartment the next morning. She could see this being the start of something good. In all honesty it had just been simple flirting with Allan at the start but she thought that thats all that it would be. That he was too much of a ladies man to chose to be with just her. But now she was seeing him in a different light. But nevertheless she had her own apartment and would have to go back there at some point. She walked around the corner but stoppped and ran back behind the wall for cover, nearly falling over the bin in the process. She peaked her head around to look again. Stephanie was standing in the arms of another man.

'Of course its your babe.' Stephanie smiled up at the man.

Emma gasped as she heard the words coming from her mouth.

'Why do you have to be with that bloke.' The man moaned.

'You know why babe. I have told you before.' Stephanie moaned as she kissed the man passionatly.

Emma watched in shock as they walked into a house and closed the door before turning and running in the direction of Marian's house.
